BLANK VERSE
flourish c. chiama
Identity runs deeper than the skin,
My melanin cover, the roots of my religion,
I shall mount my success with proud strides,
Never submitting for my coloured rhythm
The definition of my beauty is my race defined skin.
SUNSETS
A free verse
​
​
Painting the sky in 50 shades of pink,
Sunsets is just Kalopsia,
It gives us warmth during hard times,
It makes it harder for you to come back to reality,
It tells us the day is over,
Not everybody wants the day to end,
It's natures art,
It basically tells us 'time for bed'
Some people need to go to sleep
Not every body gets to sleep, it reminds them of what they lack,
It's beauty takes you to another reality,
But we always come back to the one we suffer in,
It's beauty is profound,
It's a display, It only possesses the advantage of beauty, it has no logic behind it.
A sunset colours your dreams,
Until your dreams fades away like the sunset at midnight,
It's not just a sunset, it's a moon rise
It's hypnotising you, it covers all it's negatives with it's beauty, It is illogical, where is the reasoning? like the reasoning of the sea and of the earth's ground .
Not everything is about Logic, listen to your heart and take a break for once,
If I take a break I don't gain progress, only relief that fades away in a matter of seconds.
Sometimes you have to balance the scale of the heart and the mind, there is no me without you and no you without me.
My name is Flourish, I just relocated to the Uk from Nigeria, a country in Africa. I love writing and reading, I also love drawing and my drawings are mostly where I get my inspiration from. I am basically a story weaver, unleashing the power of imaginations, one page at a time. I always wanted to write a story and get published, but most of the time I write prose and poetry.
